Kash,

I'm not sure what to think. Here's a clip from the Nintendo Dolphin web site (at nintendo.com

--------------------------------

Nintendo "Dolphin" System Summary

CPU:
* IBM Gekko Processor (an Extension of the IBM Power PC Architecture)
* 400 MHz Clock Speed
* Semiconductor Process 0.18 micron Copper Technology

Graphics:
* Custom Chip Designed by ArtX, Inc. of Palo Alto, CA.
* 200 MHz Clock Speed
* Semiconductor Process 0.18 micron Embedded DRAM Technology

System Memory:
* High Speed DRAM Technology
* Memory Bandwidth -- 3.2 GB / second


Software Medium:
* Matsushita Unique DVD Technology
* Enhanced Counterfeit Protection

-------------------------------------

Nintendo lists both embedded DRAM and High Speed System DRAM Memory that looks like RDRAM (and unclewest once posted a link to a "Dolphin Rumor" site that said it would be RDRAM, if I remember correctly -- maybe he remembers where it's at).

So it sounds like they're filling in the details behind the embedded DRAM piece of the specs above. I'm not sure whether or not they've officially verified the RDRAM details under the system memory specs piece.

For now it sounds like they're unrelated. Thanks for posting it though. Keep an eye open.

Dave
